Ryan Seacrest<\/a> is on good terms with Dancing With the Stars<\/a><\/em> judge Derek Hough<\/a>, whose sister Julianne<\/a> is one of Seacrest\u2019s exes. But the Wheel of Fortune<\/a><\/em> host did have to give his pal a talking-to when Derek got a little rambunctious on the set of the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune<\/a><\/em> spinoff.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the commercial break, [Derek] was jumping on the center of the wheel and having [fellow DWTS<\/em>judge] Bruno [Tonioli]<\/a> spin it, much like the top of a cake ornament,\u201d Seacrest told USA Today<\/a><\/em> in a recent interview. \u201cWe did say, \u2018Please don\u2019t do that. That would break it, and there\u2019s only one of those wheels. If that breaks, we have a real problem.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Jumping on the podium, as Derek did as well in his September 26 episode, is one thing. But jumping on the 2,400-pound wheel is another. \u201cWe had to sort of say, \u2018Stick to the ledge,\u2019\u201d Seacrest added. \u201c[The DWTS<\/em> guests are] very physical, and that makes for fun.\u201d<\/p>\n But Seacrest enjoyed having familiar faces on the show. \u201cKnowing someone, or being friends, is definitely helpful,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can kind of tease them more than somebody you don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n In one funny exchange from the same episode, Seacrest ribbed Tonioli after the latter correctly guessed \u201cWE DON\u2019T TALK ABOUT BRUNO\u201d as the answer to one puzzle.<\/p>\n \u201cThe irony is, you only<\/em> want to be talked about,\u201d Seacrest said to Tonioli.<\/p>\n \u201cHe knows me,\u201d Tonioli told the audience.<\/p>\n In the end, Derek beat both Tonioli and Dancing With the Stars<\/em> pro dancer Jenna Johnson<\/a> to make it to the Million Dollar Bonus Round, but he didn\u2019t guess \u201cHUGS ALL AROUND\u201d to win that puzzle.<\/p>\n <\/a> Wheel of Fortune: Vanna White Reveals Her Backstage Ritual With Ryan Seacrest<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Related<\/p>\n The DWTS<\/em>-themed Celebrity Wheel of Fortune<\/em> episode also made headlines after Wheel of Fortune<\/em>co-host Vanna White<\/a> followed up on her promise to crochet Derek and his wife, Hayley Erbert<\/a>, a blanket for their incoming baby.<\/p>\n White delivered that present<\/a> on the set of Extra<\/a><\/em>, the newsmagazine Derek is now hosting.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t wait to show this to my wife, and I can\u2019t wait to swaddle \u2014 oh, I\u2019m going to get emotional,\u201d he said.<\/p>\nWheel of Fortune: Vanna White Reveals Her Backstage Ritual With Ryan Seacrest<\/a><\/h3>\n
